Just updated tiger and now cannot get into Computer-HELP!!

Was having issues with iPhoto and importing images. Would get the darkened screen telling me I needed to do a hard restart on the machine. Happened a couple of times, so fixed permissions to start and then ran a system update.
Now, when I restart I get the password login screen (had automatic login enabled previously). The passwords for both accounts do not work and I know I'm typing them in properly. When I try to boot up of the CD to either reset the password or run disc utility, I get a DOS screen with words such as:
Unable to find finder driver for this platform
panic (CPU 0 caller
no debugger configured
panic: we are hanging here
Has anyone else had access issues since running the latest Tiger updates?

I'd imagine because of the fact that you had a hard drive problem and the system update touches system files... if they aren't written back correctly this could cause a huge problem.

  • HT1277 i just updated with the new update and now cannot get into my email.  please help!

    i just updated with the new apple update and now cannot get into my email.  i get an error message that i tried to open mail version 4.5 and cannot in apple os x  please help!

    This happened because if Mail.app was moved from /Applications or placed in a sub-folder there, the update (Security Update 2012-004) couldn't find it and fails for writing new files to Mail. This update updates Mail 4.5 to 4.6, consequently the message that 4.5 is incompatible, since it's looking at the now "old" 4.5 version. See the thread linked below for a fix and some other possible workarounds.

    Basically, make sure Mail.app is in the Applications folder inside the Macintosh HD folder, and sitting by itself not in an enclosing folder. Then get the update from Apple Downloads   and run that again.

  • TS3899 Have just uploaded iOS7 and now cannot get mail as device won't connect with server. Apple ID is ok  - any suggestions?

    Have just loaded iOS7 and now I cannot send or receive mail . Device message is : cannot open mail cannot connect with server. Any ideas?

    Had the same problem.  Deleted my account and readded it...still didn't work.  Had a call with Apple, and they couldn't figure out why the Exchange server wouldn't work.  They had me set up mail through Gmail, and that finally worked.  There must be a bug they need to fix for the Exchange Server. 

  • HT201210 I updated the ipad and when finished it asked me for a passcode. I tryed my password 3 times and now cannot get into the ipad. It says it is disabled.

  • I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Was forced to install Adobe again (maybe just update it) and can't get past step 3/3 because its forcing me to buy it. now its half installed and i need to agree to terms and conditions..

    was forced to install Adobe again (maybe just update it) and can't get past step 3/3 because its forcing me to buy it. now its half installed and i need to agree to terms and conditions..

    Let's start with what you are trying to install. Adobe Reader is free, so it won't be forcing you to buy anything. So
    - What are you trying to install (full name, please, Adobe make lots of things)
    - What system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Lion, iPad...)
    - Where do you go (what web address) to start off?
    - Why were you "forced" to do this?

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
